Who doesn’t love a cheesecake! I can never say no to cheesecake. A smooth velvety mildly sweet cheesy goodness sitting atop a buttery cookie crust, and topped with your favorite seasonal fruit compote can bait not just the kids, but anyone. …
Easy No Churn Strawberry Frozen Yogurt
Simple and easy to follow recipes requiring minimum labour in the kitchen have always been my favourite. I believe it gets even more important when you have a tiring day at office. You wouldn’t want to toil hard in the kitchen as well at the same time. And if you have been coming to this place quite often, you’d see even my baking recipes reflect that too. But that doesn’t mean I would ever compromise on the taste quotient. And for that matter I have seen through my experience that simple recipes with great flavours always remain your best friends. This is an easy no churn strawberry frozen yogurt recipe which is exactly what it’s name suggests. It’s as easy as boiling water, duh! And it doesn’t require churning like other ice creams would. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, it is completely fine. So that means it is fuss free too. And like I said, it is simple yet really high on flavours and texture too. Because this has got fresh frozen strawberries and thick luscious yogurt. The sweet and sour berries go so well with the thick yogurt. And it is entirely up to you if you want to make it little guilt free too by using a healthier sweetener instead of using sugar. It’s a perfect treat for both your eyes and palate. And you can top it with whatever topping you like, nuts, granola or even crushed biscuits. And if you are adding a healthier sweetener you can enjoy it in breakfast too. You can also go experimental and add some fresh basil or mint leaves too. Both these herbs go pretty well with strawberries and yogurt. You see how easy it is make your own frozen yogurt and how creative you can go with this. I so love it!

Strawberry Orange Lemonade
“Who says you need summers to gulp down the icy cold lemonades”, I reiterated this to myself thinking it doesn’t really matters if summers aren’t still here. Ideally, the season should have been upon us by now, but I think, with a couple of thunderstorms and some snowfalls in higher up the mountains, it is delayed by a couple of weeks probably. But you know that cravings can’t be delayed. I have been sipping onto icy cold drinks in my office lately, stealing away quick breaks from work in the afternoon; could it be a glass of fresh orange juice, an ice tea or even a large tumbler of iced coffee for that matter. And then I realized it’s the right time to make lemonade at home. Right when you’ve got fresh juicy strawberries and fragrant oranges from the Spring season. Another excuse to make something with the seasonal produce! This recipe has got no rules and is really dead simple. It’s just about eyeballing of ingredients and make your own concoction. And as this recipe doesn’t involve any cooking of fruit, it would stay good in fridge for a couple of days only. A quick blending of all the ingredients in a liquidizer and all you get is lovely and refreshing lemonade. Besides being cold and refreshing, it is full of vitamins and minerals from the real fruit. So, go for it, before these lovely berries and oranges disappear with the soon fleeting Spring.
